💧💀 Dimir Complete Control | Top 500 Mythic | Innistrad Midnight Hunt Standard | MTG Arena 

"With one blue open they can't counter anything" Feels so good to be able to say that now.

Hey Covert, I'm Sr. Morte from that long long control battle. It was a good game, but hard to deal with so much card advantage. Especially when you're stealing my counter spells! And hey, not cool making fun of my lack of innstrad cards, I'm a free to play broken dude! lol GG

Blue vs Blue is like - "If I play this now, he'll counter it. So I'll do nothing and pass the turn."

These are the types of decks that I never want to play or play against. But watching you play them and revel in their power is an absolute joy to watch. Keep up the great work.

This is the most decks we’ve seen CGB play in a single video!

hi CGB, thank you so much. for your take on "play your opponent's deck" and for this consistent good work that you've been doing for a past year and a half. i think when i'm gonna look back on these covid times your videos will be one of the best things that happened to me. this and buying a house :) i will try your deck gladly. i still suck at control though but i'm learning from the best. best of luck to you

Being able to play lands from that siphon is so clutch. It's like the robber of the rich effect ppl wished for.

Saw a french duo of content creators play against Siphon Insight. Of the 4 Siphons opponent had played, 3 of them caught an Alrund's Epiphany. The tilt level was sky-high

I just want you to know that after watching this video, I made a budget version of this nonsense and it took me to mythic rank for the first time ever. Siphon Insight might be my favorite card ever printed. I don't even own a goldspan dragon but MY OPPONENTS TEND TO

I really love playing with my opponents deck, siphon is such a cool card!

this deck is amazing! that last game had me on the edge of my seat, kudos to the opponent for enduring it

I've been seeing a lot of Siphon Insights in the last few days. I did get to Divide by Zero an Epiphany that they stole from me. Which let me Epiphany the next turn into WIN. But that card is pretty tilting when they just sit on your exiled card for like 4 or 5 turns. It just makes you sit there and say "WHAT DID YOU TAKE?!?"

As a Dimir fanboy, I absolutely love this deck.

From one Michigan based MTG fan to another, thank you for the daily content and for being so amazing. You're cool too

This deck is so strong. Siphon Insight is an amazing magical card. Every time I draw it my reaction is "Thank you opp in advance for the two cards"

"YOU'RE SO GREEDY!", said Spiderman pointing at Spiderman.

"Taking your opponents win con and beating them to death with it is hard to replace" This guy gets it.

Love dimir, love this video. Your commentary is getting better and better. Thank you

Probably like hunt for specimens more than cram session in this deck. That single blocker works wonders against so many decks. Fun Deck als always cgb!

This was the best control vs control vid so far.

Been waiting for this one!

Nice deck, and thank you for the analysis of what wildcards are worth the spend.

This was a great video. Fun stuff.

this is pretty amazing, thanks CBG

Love these long grindy control games!

Brutal last game of control vs control :D very enjoyable content imo.

Love this evvvvvvviiiilllll deck CGB!!! You made my boomer day!

These control mirror matches were so crazy. The new cards look fun

25:30 the auto tapper values trying to get you to have equal access to all colours. e.g If you have three basic plains and one basic island and you cast a spell for two colourless it will tap the plains.

Amazing !

Loving the control mirror!!!

Seeing your devious smile whenever you play siphon insight….tbh if you played that card in every deck you make it would make me a happy viewer

This was beautiful

Very interesting deck, I would hate to play against it but loved watching you play it. Thanks CGB :)

fun deck! always loved dimir! I made this a little cheaper on the rares by only using one siphon and using 1 consider and 2 curates, and I only crafted 2 meathook massacres and used 2 of the old crippling fears I already had, seems to play very similar.

I gotta be honest "patience is my wincon" are my favourite videos you make so I'm happy devious cover-up is back in standard.

No king pin? Lol, this is my pet strategy. I'm working on one for modern using redirect, reversal, commandeer, Jace to stack their deck. It's a ton of fun

Sweet deck CGB

What a sequence with that Goldspan counter/removal war

I love this deck. I have watched this video twice.

cgb: This is a family show. also cgb: luminarc asspirate

Divide by zero-ing a flashback card is going to catch like 95% of people off guard.

Goodness that first game was SO fun to watch

Ran into this list 3 games in a row and I thought... wait let me see what cgb posted today... thanks brother! Hahaha ☠☠☠

Like always Mr. CGB,GREAT VIDEO!

So this is why I've seen so many people playing this deck. I finally lost to it for the first time, and it did feel bad.

Memory Deluge was printed and the gas never stopped for any control mage anymore. Could watch this for hours ;)

This deck is pretty sweet and consistent ! I'll make it !

sweet sweet deck ! syphon insight is very strong

Love the deck

That's so cool that you played him. I have always wanted to see how bad I would lose to Covert.

Cool deck and the opponent will throw you in the abyss so evilish this deck is. Pure fun.

I feel like the steal there thing card is fantastic with memory lapse and good ole bounce in historic

CKC! Wow those were some true control games!

jeeez that final game

I thought it was bad idea to use one copy of duress and one test of talents, but eventually realized really good. You have a talents!

Love the hard core control list, where the win condition is "your opponent gives up." I've been using the Standard 2022 dimir control list and it still feels very good, though Memory Deluge might make a good replacement for Graven Lore, and Stolen Insight is a neat one. Also, this is just me, but I like having single copy of "Go Blank;" hits the graveyard and really hurts the opponent once they run out of steam and only have a few cards in hand.

This my new favorite

I played against this deck yesterday and beat it. I guess it was a patron who saw this video early.

WOOT!

Pronunciation police! /ˈdelyo͞o(d)ZH/ Great video, as always :D

I'm much looking forward to for a cgb's delver of secrets deck.

Been loving a similar dimir deck, it’s my favorite archetype (not rogues though ofc)

Is saw it coming better than you find the villains lair? I'm looking at them and thinking long game control shuffling counterspells back in having the option to cast a counterspell too draw/discard is better in the late game than foretell

I would love one Xanathar in this just for the theme

Is this a good deck to play xanithar in? I love that card so much, but I can't find a good deck for him.

I loved it

Siphon insight... the hot, new fetch-land.

Siphon insight looked pretty good as disruption in the control mirror

siphon insight is actually a great spell to play as a response to the opponent scrying

Note for CGB: You actually *cannot* fizzle a Field of Ruin on a Hall of Storm Giants by activating it. Ward is a triggered ability that happens on target, so if the land is targeted before it becomes a creature and gains Ward, the ward doesn't trigger and the land still dies. You can actually Field of Ruin Hall of Storm Giants pretty aggressively because of that and not have to worry about keeping mana up to Field in response to activation.

First time viewer, cool deck fun stream! Had some good laughs, love the siphon insight.

I’m so happy dimir is viable again in ranked. Big creature go smash got played out last set.

Meathook Massacre, let's go!

at around 15:30 isnt there a way in Arena to put a pause/ have priority to cast removal spells before opponent goes into attacks and get the treasure from the dragon ?

Took this list (replaced duress with check for traps) from bronze to diamond BO1 in like 8hrs of play time. First time I have played the ladder since eldraine and first time I have played a meta where playing your opponents deck is viable and sometimes better than straight up control cards.

Loved watching the last guy get absolutely blasted, and I could feel he thought very highly of himself as a player.

Simic! Simic is really good right now with so many people trying to play monogreen and gruul mid-range. It is a seriously fun deck with 2 copies of Wrenn added to it. I also added the one dryads revival to fetch milled creatures from Wrenns +1, it also has flashback for 4 mama which makes it couple well with Wrenn too. Please do a simic video again with wrenn!

We don't love dimir control, we love you CGB! 🤩👀

Such a cool deck but I definitely couldn't pilot it like you do 😅

This is pure evil with the win condition - driving your opponent mad.

Yes, I love Dimir Control

Ward only triggers when something is targeted. Giving it Ward in response to being targeted doesn't do anything. So if you Field of Ruin a Hall of the Storm Giants and they activate the Hall in response, that will not cause Ward to trigger.

1:12:00 "So the opponent can activate it again, but I can pay the 3" you don't have to, it's already targeted, so the ward doesn't trigger

I like your deck. I think I will TAKE it!

Like this upgrade to Dimir

whats the best deck right now?

Sonio played something similar earlier this week. UB control looks pretty good now

nice, I LOVE siphon insight... that's my kind of dimir right there :D edit: in the past, I also loved cards like covetous urge, it's not really competitive, but it is fun!

With all of the aggro decks im running this will be a nice change of pace. Plus I'll only need to get two more wildcards so thats a plus.

Can you explain what happened at 25:49 pls ? I don’t get why that was exiled.

I have a deck that is not very effective but it's fun. It's UBR and I use mind flayer, trickster god heist, glasspool mimic, price of loyalty, Sedgemoor Witch and the sac creature draw a card creature and I basically take their creatures, attack them with them, copy them and then sac them. Sometimes i flip pests with their best creatures, etc. It's really fun when it hits.

I played a similar theme but in grixis using Tibalt and the You find some prisoners red instant that does almost the same thing as the new dimir cantrip

21:33 The answer to "how many spells" is zero... you cast power word kill on the Adversary before the counters hit, there's nowhere for the counters to go, the effect dies.

Just like playing a sideboard with robber back then, play snowlands in this deck. So you can steal a haven with Siphon Insight. Fun deck!

Return of the Purple Pain. 😎

Hey CGB! With the standard metagame challenge fast approaching (September 24th!), I was wondering if you were going to play a couple of Traditional decks? Thanks for the content!

“I’ll take damage for card advantage” is the most dimir thing ever.

"Nice deck. May I use it?" LOL

Deluge is absolutely nuts, they went from draw 4 discard 1 for 8 mana to draw 4 scry 11. Ever since this card came around I've been seeing 4 ofs in play much more often.
